[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 618627, member: 7966"] Fair enough. I guess my perspective on this is like a couple other managers on BC (not tie) and that is that the numbers that IE puts together and provides to operations are just that - numbers or a tool that is provided to management for them to run their operations. IE does not run this company ... operations management does. Operations management is the Operations Management Committee member, Region Manager, District Manager, Operations Manager, Division Manager and Center Manager. If these people choose to rely on this tool (IE numbers) to manage their operations rather than empowering the center manager and his/her management team, then they are to blame ... not the IE dept. The centralization of decision making and control at UPS is the underlying problem here. It goes against one of the key principles specified in the UPS Policy Manual that UPS decentralizes the management down to the district level. Basically, what you are saying is that the manufacturers of guns (a tool) are the problem rather than the people who take this tool and abuse it. Fuel for thought. [/QUOTE]
